Switchzilla, resulting in the inevitable damage to the software product, the disdain that flow on runway hardware like imprecise and insecure as part of the launch of their new product "Umbrella".
Like a cloud based on secure internet gateway (SIG), Protocol for the most comprehensive coverage and an umbrella "to current and emerging from all threats. It blocks access to malicious domains, URLs, IPs, and files before ever construct a connection or download file ".
It was, said Cisco, distinguish the perimeter because umbrellas typical Web proxy inspection (to quote from the company's white paper download with registration) "only gives insight on web Ports 80 and 443-based threats" and not take things as malware command-and-control from callbacks.
The umbrella is, basically, the Cisco site protection software that integrates with the acquisition of application level OpenDNS 2015.
There are two problems which points community as a product at the company: the company does not "trombone" traffic from branch office to Headquarters for Internet access; and people who work a lot may not be a VPN to the Office of the Centre for Internet access.
Therefore this case, Cisco recognizes obscures the entrance is the answer. Not the users suffer performance penalties by sending traffic through the headquarters, the umbrella Security Service decentralization they need.
This is a list of checkboxes that Cisco provides umbrella:
- The visibility and applications inside and outside the corporate network, even when the VPN users and backhauling traffic to all networks company;"
- Protection against threats from all ports and protocols;
- Based on the examination of proxy traffic controls and web files with AV engines and behavioral sandboxing;"
- Live threat intelligence to global internet activity in real time, with updates being met everywhere in a matter of minutes;
- The Platform is opened with a two-way API to integrate with your existing security stack; and
- Discovery and control applications of SaaS.
The discovery of SaaS delivered by integration with Cisco platform CloudLock.
To make the use of pain-free for the user, the umbrella using Anycast routing: "every data center announced the same IP address that sends a request for transparency for the fastest available with automatic failover to maintain 100 percent uptime."
Not to mention that it's much easier to direct the user through a security system through the DNS handles that ask them to remember the click on VPN application before being connected.
Cisco product announcements here, and there is a blog on the umbrella here.
Of course, if operating in the cloud software, it is much easier to troubleshoot product-level chip, but that's another story possible.
